A town of 5,000 people in the middle of fucking nowhere on the very tip (aka North Slope) of northern Alaska on the Arctic Ocean. It's colder than a witch's tit up there, and never gets warmer than -10 degrees for 6 months. For two months in the summer, the sun never sets, and in the winter, it's constantly dark. Most of the town suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder. There's absolutely no civilization for 400-500 miles in either direction. There's nothing to do there except drill oil and masturbate.

The greatest place ever. Period. Home of the Alaska State Fair, lots of weed, fuck-ups galore, Kwik Mart ice cream (after the remodeling), and Pioneer Pizza. Thank the Lord for Pioneer Pizza.

1)John Green the Michael L. Printz award winner's first book. So far there is no sequel, nor does John intend on writing one, but Looking for Alaska may be made into a movie. John Green has also written two other books, An Abundance of Katherines and Paper Towns.
2) "Lookin for Alaska" is a song written by Liane Graham covered by Hank Green for John Green's book Looking for Alaska.

Person 1: Looking for Alaska is one of my favorite books.
Person 2: Ya, but have you heard the song for the book? It rocks my socks.

"Alaska is an island. Why else would they put it in a box next to Hawaii on the map?"
"Isn't Dutch Land that country near Holland where the Dutch are from?"
"You know, the Aryans... from Arya?"
-Are you kidding me, Mr. Alaska?

The indigenous people of Alaska (including but not limited to the cultural groups Inupiat, Yupiit, Sugpiaq, Unangan, Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Athabascan) who have inhabited the land since time immemorial. Alaska includes over 230 tribes, each of whom are sovereign entities and have unique traditions and ways of life. Their strength and perseverence in not only surviving but thriving in their environment has endured, and collectively they remain a significant and ever present population of the state of Alaska. Despite over a century of colonization, forced assimilation, disease, discrimination and cultural, linguistic and phsyical genocide they remain resilient and proud. This historical trauma, however, often creates debilitating social problems in villages of rural Alaska, that are compounded by the fact the state of Alaska that does little to support it's rural residents. But this is not the defining trait of Alaska Natives. They are indefinable; each Alaska Native individual, family, village, government unique. They are not a people trapped in the past, nor disappearing into a bleak, uncertain future. They are descended from incredible men and women who worked collectively to create a better future for their children and children's children, who continue to shape what it means to be Alaska Native today. At the heart of it all, they are human, perfect in their imperfection, capable of mistake, and with a great capacity for love and compassion, just as we all are.
Many Alaska Natives practice a subsistence lifestyle, which is a way of life practiced by their ancestors since time immemorial.

The only international airline where you are bound to see someone you know on the flight as long as you are actually flying in or out of Alaska, so you always have someone to talk too.
"I was flying out of anchorage on Alaska Airlines and i was like 3 people i know, it was a total party."

A metropolis of some 260,000 in Alaska that is a few thousand miles away from any other large city in North America and where half the state lives. Despite its isolation, crime is relatively high, especially in the Mountain View, Muldoon, and Spenard neighborhoods. Winters are cold and dark, but manageable and summers are nice and mild with temperatures rarely going above the high 70's. The middle and upper middle classes live mostly west of Minnesota Drive and south of Dimond Boulevard. There is no interstate highway system in the city except for a few miles of the New Seward Highway, the southern part of Minnesota Drive, and between Northway Mall and the Mat-Su Valley. Almost all of the homes in it like the rest of Alaska are wood frame or other composite. It is the only major city in America that has both downhill and cross country skiing in it.
